The Drugs Don't Work Lyrics

Performed by The Verve

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'as I passed down by your street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
(Repeat and Fade Out)

I heard this was about the viscious drugs used against cancer not working. My beautiful husband died aged 49 of just that and the drugs didn't work, nor did the surgery. But I managed to sing in his ear and tell him how loved he was....as if he needed telling! Nice one Verve. x

Very deep | Reviewer: Johnny G. | 7/29/07

This song makes me think of one of my dearest friends that's lost in drugs. He has changed very much since we were kids. I think the reason for me liking this song so much it's that it makes believe that my friend will be back as i knew him long ago...

The drugs don't work | Reviewer: João | 7/29/07

This song makes me think about one of my dearest friends, who is into drugs and has changed deeply in the last years. Maybe thats why i like this song so much, it makes me believe that my friend will come back.

phenomenal!!!! | Reviewer: gtfyc | 2/14/07

This song is incredible, apparently its about Richard Ashcrofts father dying after the drugs they gave to him did not work, and he told him that if he wanted to sing to him then he would.

"if you want a show, then just let me know and i'll sing in your ear again"

A simply brilliant and emotional song....one of the best!
